So I am, I hope, a big enough person to admit that I was wrong.

As might have been obvious, I have been concerned at seeing Cypher, one of my favourite characters ever, who was defined by the low key nature of his powers, get chosen to be the Heir of Apocalypse.

But if Jed Mackay and Netho Diaz X-Men #19 is any indication of where we're going though, I'm not just interested, I'm invested...

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

The UK Government is facing a massive backlash from their own MP's about the, to say the least "controversial" bill on Welfare reform.

Not to be outdone, the US government is lurching ahead with trying to push through the hideously mis-named "One Big Beautiful Bill"

The annual Glastonbury Festival took place in the UK, featuring a lot of people I had never heard of amongst the names I think I was supposed to recognise (but I am old and these young whippersnappers like... errrr.... Pulp... and Robert Plant are mere Johnny Come-latelys). Though Peter Capaldi returned to his musical roots and proved his status as "coolest guy ever", by performing live with Franz Ferdinand.

It's also insanely hot in the UK these past few days at consistently over 30C, though I understand the US is worse! So I'm going to go and get a cold drink and suggest you all do the same!

RIP - Jim Shooter

It has been confirmed that industry giant Jim Shooter has died, at the age of 73, from esophageal cancer.

A comic fan since childhood, he proved this more than most ever could, by becoming a professional writer at age 13, when his first story for the Legion of Super-Heroes was published in 1966, where he actually managed to make teenagers sound rather more like teenagers than previous writers, and created the Fatal Five (as one commenter put it in the past "Two-Face as a cyborg, a 50 foot tall monster, an executioner, a creepy guy with a destructive hand and a woman accompanied by a two foot cosmic eyeball... ONLY a teenager could have come up with that)

Literally entire books have been written about his tenure at Marvel from 1976 to 1987, as he rose to the position of Editor-in-Chief by 1978.

He was dynamic, disciplined and ruthless, a polarizing figure at the best of times, with many staff fiercly loyal to him as he did have his creators backs, but also many chafing under the rules he insisted on as editor, infamously insisting that Phoenix had to die at the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga (due to her having killed billions of beings) rather than being reset to an amnesiac Jean Grey as Claremont and Byrne originally planned.

He oversaw the expansion of many titles, a more interlinked Marvel Universe and moved Marvel into new areas including Graphic Novels, and more commercial tie-ins like licensed comics: Star Wars being the best known, as well as many toy-related cross marketed titles some of which transcended their apparent limitations to be genuine classics: Micronauts and ROM being two. An approach culminating in of course, Secret Wars (and Secret Wars II).

A number of professionals have, naturally, spoken of their experiences with him for Bleeding Cool, and it's an interesting read, especially the number of times the word "complex" crops up.

His outright refusal to include any overt LGBTQIA+ characters or representation in comics through the 80's is something which should not be ignored or forgotten, regardless of how clever creators could be with subtext and inference. It would be inexcusable to not note this on this comunity more than most.

His passing will be marked by much discussion from those better versed in such things, so we will mark it by offering our sincerest condolences to his family and friends on their loss.

Mystic Arcana: Magik #1

"David Sexton: gave Not so long ago, there was a magic based mini-series (which I won't name) that climaxed in a battle between a good wizard and an evil wizard. After the evil wizard head-butted the good wizard, it cast a spell on some innocent bystanders by pointing its evil wizard finger at them and uttering that most famous of magical phrases, 'Bang!' Reading that sequence kind of crystallized some of the things I had been thinking about regarding magic in comics. Magic is not a gun. It should look and feel different from technology or from a mutant power. Magic should be depicted in an imaginative manner. Magic only exists in our shared imaginations, so a writer needs to provide that kind of convincing detail in order for the reader to 'believe' in what they're reading...The rules have gotten rather mushy, but 'The Magic Gun Syndrome' can be stopped. If a character or a creature manipulates magic in a new and different way, fantastic, but the reader needs to understand how. The magic has to make sense. Not rational sense, but it should have what Jung referred to as 'Mythopoeic' meaning."

That was a really light bulb moment for me, where I knew that I wanted to, number one, play with fire, because it was so essential to the Martian Manhunter mythology, but then the idea of how we represent thoughts in comics with essentially thought smoke. So I made that connection immediately, and I thought that we could do something with that. And so it just felt like we're taking that that formal concept, and kind of playing with it, and going as deep as we can with it throughout the issues. -- Deniz Camp

So... the preview for X-Men #19 is out.
